Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Soundtrack to eagerly anticipated 2004 film features music from Coldplay, The Shins, Zero 7, Colin Hay, Cary Brothers, Remy Zero, Nick Drake, Thievery Corporation, Simon & Garfunkel, Iron & Wine, Frou Frou, & Bonnie Somerville.

Amazon.com:
Writer and director Zach Braff does a masterful job matching the charming, heartfelt tone of films like The Graduate and Rushmore in his motion picture debut, Garden State, so it only makes sense that the music he personally compiled for the soundtrack plays just as of big a part here as it did in those films. Simon & Garfunkel's languorous 'The Only Living Boy in New York' is an obvious thread, but aside from Nick Drake's 'One of These Things First,' Braff is able to carry the mood without getting tripped up in the past. Frou Frou's 'Let Go' and Zero 7's 'In the Waiting Line' supply soft techno touches, while Iron & Wine's 'Such Great Heights' and former Men at Work singer Colin Hay's 'I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You' offer understated angst. It's the pair of emotionally racked contributions from the Shins ('Caring Is Creepy,' 'New Slang'), however, that really make this compilation a must-have. --Aidin Vaziri

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I want Braff's entire music collection!
I can't even tell you how many times I've purchased a movie soundtrack only to be disappointed by the mediocre (at best) collection. Before Garden State, I'm pretty sure the last soundtrack I bought was for Men in Black back in '97. Major disappointment there.

So when I locked onto the Garden State soundtrack, I wavered. I checked out the song clips on Amazon and decided to sit on it for awhile. But I couldn't get the clips out of my head. Do you have any idea how annoying it is to only know 30 seconds of a great song? So I finally gave in. I purchased the CD, and worried that somehow it was going to turn out like one of those movies where they show all the good parts in the preview.

Several years later and this album is still among my Top 10 most played albums. Having grown up listening to my dad's Simon & Garfunkel albums, I already had a foot in the door with their contribution, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - my top ten
It is difficult for me to fully express why, but this movie makes my top ten movies of all time list. As for the soundtrack, well, not only does it remind me of the film, but it also has some choice cuts of music within it.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great soundtrack
I love movie soundtracks that have artists that may other wise not get airplay. Zero 7, the Shins, and Frou Frou, even an Simon & Garfunkel song gets woven into an interesting musical experience. It pretty mellow but the story was about a guy who spent much of his teens - mid 20's in an induced depression. Great movie - great music.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - something to listen to when trying to sleep!
i fell inlove with the movie so i ordered the sound track thinking it was going to be the same. this cd is very boring and slow!
